  • Maybe they don’t want those divots in the side of their nose? But it might be more in line with being nervous about Lasik or something, which I get because I haven’t gotten it because 1) I don’t have the money and 2) my understanding is that they cut into your eye so a flap of it is just there. If someone were to punch me in the face after, it might be easier to pop my eye! I haven’t looked much deeper into it, but that’s my, maybe irrational, fear. Apparently the better surgery to get is one where they grind down your eyes to have better lenses, but that seems like a huge thing also, probably more expensive, and it would take a long time healing from it while essentially being blind.












  • There’s no real way to tell, but I’d say this is probably not going to be powerful in the formats in which it will be legal, which indicates that it will be a build around commander card. In other words, I think it will be fairly inexpensive. It will be widely available on card kingdom and TCG Player (or whatever your regional card buying websites are) on June 7-14.

    If you wanted to make a deck around it for fun, I’m sure some MTG youtubers will make a budget deck tech for it, probably in the $50 range for the whole deck. They may also make a play mat available through Ultra Pro, if you wanted a larger version of the art for about $20, but That is not guaranteed.

    EDIT: not my best work, but here’s something I threw together for about $30 before shipping https://www.moxfield.com/decks/UG1b-4h7NkilnSzYnKUeMw





  • An AI (in its current form) isn’t a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it’s a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn’t ask permission to use other people’s licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn’t become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn’t.
